The Way We See It

Every month for eleven years, she has sat across from her sister. She has never once asked her why.

Chloe Vance drives across the Narrows on the second Saturday of every month to a women's prison, and sits at the same bolted table, and talks about nothing. That is the arrangement. It has held since the winter her father died.

Then her sister's lawyer calls. Sarah has one chance at a life beyond the wire: a clemency hearing in Olympia, in front of a room full of people with every reason to say no. And the lawyer has a single request.

Chloe must stand up and say, under her own name, what she really thinks of her sister.

To do it, she will have to open the three files she has spent a decade avoiding. Forty-one pages in her sister's handwriting. A three-word note left on a cabin table. And a sealed envelope that has sat on a shelf above her workbench since the morning their father died.

Each one costs more than the last. And the question she has never asked is waiting at the end of all three.

Some things are only ever kept because nobody asks. This time, she's going to ask.
